Thanks Justin, but if you see in my first post, thats the first thing I did was to check the 'z' connector pins. That no F & R , no-code has been around for years. Pull the 'Z' connector, clean it and off you go. That lube is nothing more than di-electric compound. I don't use it so much any more especially on EV100 connectors. We use Deoxit contact cleaner. It's expensive but well worth it. The protectant it leaves on the pins is excellent, far superior to just di compound alone, ( as long as you have tight pins anyway ). You can check out that product at Deoxit.com.
